Welding Sealing Rings On Two-Piece Containment Box

 





This is a two-piece containment box known as a Clamp designed to go over Valves, Flanges, etc. that are leaking on a system that cannot be shut down. The Machinist will bolt the clamp in place (over the leaking item) then start pumping in a high temp compound encapsulating the leak so they can run until the next shut down. Refineries mainly use these. I was called to weld the sealing rings that surround the pipe itself and the Box Seal at the separation point.

The fascinating jobs just keep coming. I love them all.

I was called to a regular customer's place recently to remount these spiny wagon wheel connections that had broken loose from the tube frame. The supporting structure had to be rebuilt. The wheels are obviously just for show, but they require a solid connection.

Welding Truck Body Tour


Don Crossley of Croz Custom Metal Fabrication Inc., was kind enough to give us a tour of his awesome welding rig. This is a Ford F450 Super Cab chassis with all the toys, transferred his existing welding body so that he could have the capacity he needed. He got everything he wanted except he didn't much like the way the truck rode. So he took it to Kelderman and they installed a 4-link air suspension system and Don not only gets a great ride but some added benefits that are really helpful. Check out this walkaround of his truck.

Croz Welds Support for 80 Foot Tall Billboard Installation


This was an interesting job for Clear Channel Outdoor.  They were installing a new 80’ billboard just off of Highway 101 South on Shaw Road. My part was to cope the temporary I-beams to fit the 48” mast and weld them together to keep the mast plumb and in place while the concrete was setting up.

Save A Lot Of Money! Don't Replace,! Croz will Repair the Dumpster!

 




Even roll-off dumpsters wear out or rust through. Replacing them is quite costly, but refurbishing them with some creative welding extends the life of the dumpster at a fraction of the cost. These are some shots from many years ago refurbishing some dumpsters for a local refuse company. It's always interesting what I will be welding next.

A Gateway Project, We Do Small Jobs Too!




Some jobs are large and complicated. Some are small and straightforward. Here's a small job from several years ago at the S & L Thai Restaurant on N. Texas St. in Fairfield CA. They called me out to convert their Rolling gate to a swing gate. Looks so much better too, don't you think? Have truck, will travel! How can I be of service to you today?
